What is the authenticity of the Hadith: "Moses asked his Lord, saying: 'O Lord, how do You deal with those who disobey You?' He said: 'O Moses, whoever disobeys Me, I give him respite; if he commits a sin, I conceal it; if he returns to Me, I accept him; if he goes back to sin, I await him; if he repents, I forgive him and love him; otherwise, I abandon him and leave him to himself, so that My servant may have no excuse, for I am not unjust to My servants'"?
This hadith is not found in the books of the people of knowledge (scholars), so it is not permissible to attribute it to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. It is obligatory to verify what is narrated from him, because lying about him is not like lying about anyone else.
